White Christmas
Will Etna, CA have a white Christmas?
Etna, California had snow on the ground on Christmas morning in 14 of the 25 Christmases measured from 1996 to 2025. The last white Christmas there was in 2022.
Measured at Mt Shasta, 31 miles east of Etna. That station is far enough from Etna, or high or low enough, that this is its own record rather than a call for the town. A white Christmas is an inch or more of snow on the ground at the Christmas morning reading, the line NOAA uses, counted from the station's own daily record.
The forecast for Christmas morning in Etna starts on this page on December 18.
